“Not on file” is not a no — approvals can be bed- or room-specific, so confirm current scope with the home on a tour. Where a number is shown it is the state’s own wording for how many residents the approval covers, not how many places are open today; where none is shown, the record simply does not state one.

Specific medical needs — insulin, oxygen, a catheter, an ostomy — aren’t in the state license record; ask the home directly. A feeding tube, tracheostomy, or advanced wound care usually needs skilled nursing →

Is Pacifica Senior Living Oxnard licensed?

Yes — Pacifica Senior Living Oxnard is a licensed residential care facility in Oxnard (Ventura County): California license #565802425, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked June 12, 2026, licensed for 100 residents. No dated inspection documents appear in the copy of the state record we hold; the state's public site carries the complete history.

Can Pacifica Senior Living Oxnard care for dementia, hospice, bedridden, or non-ambulatory residents?

From the CDSS license record, checked June 12, 2026.

The CDSS license record checked June 12, 2026 lists no specialized-care clearances for Pacifica Senior Living Oxnard (wheelchair / non-ambulatory, dementia / memory care, hospice care, and bedridden are not on file). A clearance that is not on file is not a “no” — it may simply be unrecorded, so if your family needs one of these, ask the home directly and confirm its current scope on a tour.

Wheelchair / non-ambulatoryDementia / memory careHospice careBedridden

From the California state record. Some approvals are bed- or room-specific — always confirm current scope with the facility.

How much does Pacifica Senior Living Oxnard cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Pacifica Senior Living Oxnard's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Ventura County typically runs $5,000–$7,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $4,000–$6,500/mo (market research compiled June 2026 — ranges, not quotes; California's 2026 SSI/SSP board-and-care payment standard is $1,626.07/month, of which $1,444.07 is the room-and-board portion paid to the home). Ask the home for its own rate sheet and what the base rate includes — or use the cost section at the top of this page.

Does Pacifica Senior Living Oxnard accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Pacifica Senior Living Oxnard is not in the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant record we checked August 9, 2026 — that list covers only the state's ALW program, not a home's own payment policies, so ask the home directly about private Medi-Cal arrangements. The waiver pays for assisted-living care services (not room and board) at participating homes; every DHCS-listed home appears on our statewide Medi-Cal page.

What the state has logged

California has logged state visits for this home as of June 12, 2026. These are the home's own counts, straight from that record — shown beside the statewide median for larger communities (16+ beds), computed across all 1,244 licensed homes of that size, because larger and longer-licensed homes naturally accumulate more visits and reports. They are facts, not a grade — a citation may be minor and since corrected, and an “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing.
